GoogleBecky and the team have been superb. They are really passionate and proactive in what they do. Despite having some poor luck with 3 sales falling through due to chains breaking down, they continued to maintain motivation and really worked hard to help us both sell and find our new home. They take an active interest in managing stakeholders all the way through to exchange. Their intimate knowledge of the local market ensured that we achieved true market value, when other agents suggested lower asking prices to achieve a quick turnaround.
Additionally Rob Hinde their mortgage broker is highly recommended. He opened up options, we didn't appreciate were available.

We recently sold and purchased a house through the Brixworth office, and we couldn’t recommend the team highly enough. Adele was a fantastic support throughout the entire journey - extremely credible, knowledgeable, responsive and above all, a really lovely person. Adele went above and beyond for us and is a real asset to O'riordan Bond. Matt and Jake were also brilliant whenever covering for Adele. We’d highly recommend the Brixworth team to family and friends!

TrustpilotLiam at O’Riordan Bond in Duston North…
Liam at O’Riordan Bond in Duston North has been an absolute star. Selling and buying my new home was stressful at times, but having Liam in my corner made all the difference. He was kind, patient, and always kept me in the loop, never had to chase him once, no confusion, just genuine support and great communication. You could tell he really cared, and that meant a lot. I honestly don’t know how I’d have got through it without him. Thank you, Liam!

GoogleBecky, Avril and the team were genuinely exceptional when handling our house sale. They drove good early interest and got us an offer within weeks. Even though they were only responsible for the sale of our house and not for our onward purchase, they consistently went above and beyond to try to help push things through on all sides, effectively managing our buyers expectations throughout and even speaking directly to our vendors and solicitors to try to preserve our chain. They gave good advice and steers throughout the process and nothing was ever too much trouble. If I was buying or selling in the area again, there is no one else I would consider.

TrustpilotFantastic Team of Sales Agents - Thank you
Thank you to Matthew, Liam and the team for all your support during our very lengthy house sale/move!! Your patience and advice has been invaluable and very much appreciated. You always had time to respond to questions which is great and is very reassuring, we all know how stressful house moves can be! We had a bumpy journey but you definitely made it easier, and huge THANK YOU for that. Would 100% recommend your services to anyone.

FacebookO’Riordan Bond Weston Favell is the branch we used to sell our property. They found us a buyer on the first day on the market! Matt and Steph were absolute angels sent from Heaven throughout the process. It was not all plain sailing due to the lower chain (not ORB fault) but they cared about our sale and onward purchase. They chased relentlessly to get to exchange and completion. Honestly, I was an emotional wreck throughout and Steph couldn’t have reassured me more. Not many estate agents actually care about their jobs and their clients but ORB are not one of them. The agents and sales progressers there are complete credit to the company. I would highly recommend them to anyone selling!

Do not use O'Rioden Bond Estate agents Earls Barton! They were agents for the sale of my uncles house. They lied about the property saying it hadn't had a survey done by a potential client when it had. The manager lied saying if the jobs(central heating)hadn't been done on the property prior to being sold it would be worth ZERO! Doesn't she know about homes under the hammer?! No property is worth zero.

GoogleI honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience selling my house.
From the very first conversation with Becky, I felt completely supported. She genuinely had my back from day one.
She took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, which made what can be a stressful experience feel manageable and transparent. Communication was excellent throughout, I was always kept up to date and never left wondering what was happening.
Becky’s professionalism, reassurance and proactive approach made all the difference. She has genuinely restored my faith in how estate agents can guide and support you through a successful sale.
I would absolutely recommend her and the team at Earls Barton.

Liam was exceptional in handling my mother-in-law's sale. He was empathetic, informative, and always available to support us throughout the entire process. His genuine nature ensured we were never left wondering about the status of our sale. When we encountered a slight hitch, Liam smoothed it over seamlessly. We would highly recommend Liam and O'Riordan Bond for any future sales or purchases.

TrustpilotI don’t recommend this agency
I don’t recommend this agency. We applied to rent a property, there was a mixup with my partner’s landlord, the estate agents were made aware of this and they said it is fine. We have been reassured that everything is fine, the property is ours so we stopped looking for other properties just to be told 2 weeks after that actually the landlord refused the application due to them being unable to confirm the previous landlord. They were really not helpful, they promised call backs which did not happen, I have asked numerous times what we can do to sort this out and they were just not interested due to Christmas coming and NY as they were all off. They lie to you in your face, they are not being honest and really not helpful.

TrustpilotWeston Favell Gangster Estate Agents
We sold and purchased with the Weston Favell branch. We found ourselves needing to “play the dirty game” with them and put up with the rude, patronising tone of Steph. If anything, navigating the gangsters of estate agents adds to your stress when they’re not genuine and only motivated by money alone and get no job satisfaction with a happy customer. They don’t check buyers affordability (didn’t even ask for proof from us either) so chains will be wobbly. They hide reasons for previous sale collapses including what’s uncovered in surveys and will try deter you from getting full reports to avoid extra stress for them, they don’t care, they just want their money! They don’t care about ensuring the transaction is right for seller and buyer or being honest when asked directly… they lie. The only bonus about buying and selling with them is it’s double the commission so more a money motivator for them alone. They like to make a quick buck (don’t we all?). Minimal after care customer service when you have legal issues, they literally wipe their bands of you claiming a “concluded end” to an issue they created. The only reason why we have given it a 2 star is that it was boosted by two factors, we actually completed (when we lowered ourselves to play the dirty game) and that Chelsea in the admin office was the only genuine and caring person we came across. Avoid Stuart though, he will breach GDPR by association and talk to you like you’re something on the bottom of his shoe. Be prepared to be compliant with their tricks and try stay one step ahead if you choose to do any transactions with this branch. Nothing worse than having to lower your morales and ethics just to buy and sell a house.

Trustpilot4.5 months in and no exchange
I have dealt with the kingsthorpe branch, all seemed quite positive initially, quick "sale" I.e. offer and accepted within a few days with info that the buyer had sold. I waited 9-10 weeks before I started chasing as there was zero communication. Was then informed the help to buy property of the seller always holds things up (had never been advised of this before, only after nearly 3 months patiently waiting). Also used the estate agents recommended conveyancer as it should apparently "make it more straightforward forward". When I chased with the conveyancer (key conveyancing) I was told it wasn't appropriate for them to advise on certain things as they were representing the buyer as well and to go through the estate agent. From there it was never clear who to talk to about what. The client liaison often delivered bad news with a helpful laugh. I was very upfront I would struggle for this to go past the 4 month mark due to financial constraints, cue a cheery email detailing due this near to Christmas the buyer would struggle to get a removal firm so to round it up to Jan. I was told exchange was imminent on wed or Thursday this week now on Friday and still no exchange. I'd emailed the conveyancers who failed to respond all day. Managed to get hold of them on the phone this afternoon to a vague excuse where the usual help to buy red tape was trotted out. When I pressed them it seems its an outstanding query from the bottom of the chain. They seemed to have really good reviews on here so hopefully this review gives a bit more balance. If you value honesty, transparency, effective communication and respect, go elsewhere with your business.

TrustpilotORiordanBond, Northampton : I cannot recommend this agency either
I cannot recommend this agency either. The faciliated a tenant for me, and I purchased GoodLord rent insurance from them. A nightmare to deal with and no active follow up for payout. ORB holds the rent insurance contract and GoodLord is not easily reachable. While GoodLord has made payment for 2 months rent, I am still waiting for the remaining months. Stay away from both!!!!

I had a contract with Oriordabond fir selling a property. I've decided to go with another estate agent after 10 days and I cancelled my contract with Oriordanbond. After 6 days I learned that Oriordanbond is still advertising my house online. This caused a big confusion to me. I would not advise to anybody to use Oriordanbond

TrustpilotExtremely disgusted by the service here. Clear micro aggression and lack of accountability.
I initially had a good experience with Stuart who showed me the house. From then I was not exactly sure who I was to be in contact with as several people emailed. I then spoke to Kirsty who was friendly and helpful enough. I did ask her to reach out to my lawyer for a few questions she asked but aside from that all good.However I am extremely disappointed with the service I received towards the end of the house purchase. When it was time to pick up the keys confusing and conflicting information from different staff. First time purchase so was genuinely concerned something had gone wrong. When I mentioned I would leave a review about was told Stef and Mathew “I am being threatening and aggressive”. As a woman of colour am I surprised by the language they used to describe me when expressing my disappointment at the service and confusion? No. Disgusted!

GoogleVery poor performance,
I visited the estate office yesterday inquiring about the property situated at the Square, Earls Barton, both ladies were disinterested almost annoyed when i asked questions, just seems to look at me in distain like i couldn’t afford the place, they asked me if I had £80 deposit and how I was going to pay for renovations they also mentioned that there is no garden or car park!
I thought they meant to sell the place 🤷🏻♀️
